Iíve grown up and reside in Canton. This is where my familyís roots are, so I am familiar with Cantonís rich history and traditions. I attended Spoon River College and received my Bachelors of Science from Northland College in Ashland, Wis. My husband Cole, who works for the City of Canton, and I have an amazing two and a half year old daughter Ava, who keeps us busy. With almost one year under my belt as the Executive Director for the Canton Area Chamber of Commerce, we are continuing to partner with area businesses and community leaders to make Canton a great place to live, work and play!

Students: The earliest started queuing up around 10:30PM Friday evening as I understand it and they were let in around 4:30PM yesterday. Here they are filing in (on the left), and..

…props to the athletic department for dropping the 4 pack of live games (right, above) on the big boards for a while.

The Ross Toss: Love for Stephen Ross and his wallet saturated Ann Arbor all day Saturday, from Desmond leading off with a huge thank you to Ross on GameDay, to the story and full page ad in the game program, to the special break during the game to acknowledge the man, to the massive sign the students propped up (some fans were literally under the C). The even dedicated the coin toss to #$teve which makes one ask, if they used a quarter for the coin toss and handed it to Ross when they were done…is it now technically a $199,999,999.75 donation?

Pretty much. But at this point we kind of need him down there for these big games, right? Two quick things about the big man: heís arguably one of the greatest Michigan lineman, if not players, of all-time and as I understand it heís a talented artist. Next year we need to put on the full court press on #1000SSS to commission Everitt to paint something for a game program cover.

Return of the Pink Wolverine Ė You thought Tom Harmonís #98 jersey was the only iconic piece of Michigan apparel to grace the sidelines Saturday night? Not even close:

One the left, thatís pink shorts guy celebrating Desmondís 1991 ďThe CatchĒ vs. Notre Dame in the northeast corner of the end zone. On the right from Saturday pregame, same endzone same spot..pink shorts guy reappeared. No, they didnít stop the game to recognize this moment but letís just say there were a couple Legends honored on the field yesterday.

End zone cameras? Kind of brutal for the folks seated behind this guy?

Press Box Visitors: Before heading down to the locker room for halftime assistants Al Borges and Jeff Hecklinski (enjoying the cool drink) stopped in the press box to catch the final play of the half (the Hail Mary):
